Watched that whole match, they are quite solid as a unit and made Fulham look completely toothless. Solanke in double digits, sound defensively and move the ball forward with pace.
Like the rest of the team, he looks shot of confidence. He’s also played a ridiculous amount of football in 2023.
He’s a fantastic player who’s fatigue excuse can be justified over sheer amount of games he’s played.
We’ve arguably upgraded the defence too, but not having Botman and even Schar not looking as good as he did last year has really hurt us.
Will definitely need another top CB this summer, most likely a Fullback too.
One of Howe’s weaker attributes, gotta think he’s trying to protect some players like Hall and Miley from any dip in confidence or positivity? I dunno, it’s insane though, I agree.
This is what I don’t understand, I thought it was “our identity”. We look so weak on the ball and passive in forward play.
Defensively we look even worse away from home, when we’ve been so solid under Howe previously.
